Zephyr support status on RISC-V processors
##########################################
Overview
********
This page describes current state of Zephyr for RISC-V processors.
Currently, there's support for some boards, as well as Qemu support
and support for some FPGA implementations such as neorv32 and
litex_vexriscv.
Zephyr support includes PMP, :ref:`user mode<usermode_api>`, several
ISA extensions as well as :ref:`semihosting<semihost_guide>`.
User mode and PMP support
**************************
When the platform has Physical Memory Protection (PMP) support, enabling
it on Zephyr allows user space support and stack protection to be
selected.
ISA extensions
**************
It's possible to set in Zephyr which ISA extensions (RV32/64I(E)MAFD(G)QC)
are available on a given platform, by setting the appropriate `RISCV_ISA_*`
kconfig. Look at :file:`arch/riscv/Kconfig.isa` for more information.
Note that Zephyr SDK toolchain support may not be defined for all
combinations.
SMP support
***********
SMP is supported on RISC-V, but currently only on Qemu platforms. In
order to test the SMP support, one can use `qemu_riscv32_smp` or
`qemu_riscv64_smp` boards.
